Abstract:
This paper builds an efficient agent-based flexible scheduling for real-world manufacturing systems. Considering the alternative processes and alternative machines, the allocation of manufacturing resources is achieved through negotiation among the job and machine agents in a multi-agent system (MAS). Ant Colony Intelligence (ACI) is proposed to be combined with Contract Net Protocol (CNP) so as to make agents adaptive to changing circumstances. ACI is integrated into both machine agents and job agents to solve the task allocation and sequencing problem. CNP is introduced to allow the agents t

Abstract:
Cooperation in multi-agent systems is necessary in order to perform complex tasks and lead Multi-agent System (MAS) towards its objective. Contract-Net Protocol (CNP) is one of the communication and coordination mechanisms used by multi-agent systems which prefer cooperation through interaction protocols. This paper proposes a new cooperation and negotiation protocol based on the principals of the Contact Net Protocol (CNP). The auhtors' suggested negotiation protocol is used to solve one of the problems in the context of the city planning which is the problem of election of urban projects. Th

Abstract:
For developing large dynamic systems in a rigorous manner, fuzzy labeled transition refinement tree (FLTRT for short) has been defined. This model provides a formal specification framework for designing such systems. In fact, it supports abstraction and enables fuzziness which allows a rigorous formal refinement process. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the applicability of FLTRT for designing multi agent systems (MAS for short), among others collective and internal agent's behaviors. Therefore, Contract Net Protocol (CNP for short) is chosen as case study.

Abstract:
Space situational awareness (SSA) plays an important role in maintaining space advantages. Task planning is one of the key technologies in SSA to allocate multiple tasks to multiple satellites, so that a satellite may be allocated to supervise multiple space objects, and a space object may be supervised by multiple satellites. This paper proposes a hierarchical and distributed task-planning framework for SSA systems with focus on fast and effective task planning customized for SSA. In the framework, a global task-planner layer performs satellite and object clustering, so that satellites are cl

Abstract:
Background: The existing contract net protocol has low overall efficiency during the bidding and release period, and a large amount of redundant information is generated during the negotiation process. Methods: On the basis of an ant colony algorithm, the dynamic response threshold model and the flow of pheromone model were established, then the complete task allocation process was designed. Three experimental settings were simulated under different conditions. Results: When the number of agents was 20 and the maximum load value was L max = 3 , the traffic and run-time of task allocation under

Abstract - This paper focuses on the experimental analysts of Contract NET protocol for Multi-Robot task allocation. The problem domain consists of multiple vacuum cleaning robots that need to cooperate for cleaning an area that is beyond the capabilities of a single robot. A robot simulator has been used to experiment with various area and robot locations, and the summary of the effort required to process the tasks has been recorded. Experimental results show that using Contract NET protocol alone is not sufficient to achieve optimal results in task allocation. A more advanced strategy with o

Abstract:
An adaptive contract net protocol which can adapt to dynamic environment is proposed based on ant colony optimization algorithm. In the negotiation process of task allocation, the probability of the contractor being selected is related with the contractor’s credibility and ability. Several experiments are performed to show the advantages of this algorithm, it has a better decision quality when task recurrence rate (TRR) unchanged, and the communication traffic (CT) remains at a low level as TRR increases when the number of tasks (NT) unchanged. As a result, the algorithm can enhance the decisi

The widely-used FIPA iterated contract net IP has already been implemented on the JADE agent platform. However, there seems only the single session responder behaviour of it available, without the cyclic behaviour version. This work thus implements the JADE cyclic responder behaviour for this IP on JADE. We used JADE tools to analyze the execution of this behaviour.
